Thanks, Nativetexan. To complicate things, this particular quilt is paper pieced. I'll test a few blocks before I get into it too far. I don't think I'll be able to do my usual freezer paper piecing, but I'll try that first just in case it works. The paper would be pressed on the wrong side of the fabric, or in this case on the interfacing side, so it might work.
